AOS Services Inc.

AOS Services Inc., an SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Rockport, Texas, provides maintenance, testing, inspection, and certification services for firefighting and emergency response equipment to defense and federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The company competes across both set-aside (total small business, woman-owned small business sole-source) and full-and-open procurements, with recent activity split roughly evenly between set-aside and unrestricted awards.

AOS operates in a narrowly defined but well-established technical niche centered on SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) systems, fire apparatus, aerial and ground ladders, pumps, air compressors, and personal protective equipment cleaning and certification in compliance with National Fire Protection Association standards. The company holds primary NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with PSC concentration in J042 (fire-fighting/rescue equipment maintenance) across 39 of 85 awards. Concrete representative work includes a $7.1 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Military Sealift Command (awarded November 2023, running through November 2028) for SCBA support services aboard naval vessels globally; a $431,710.61 single-award IDC with Army Materiel Command through August 2029 for fire department equipment maintenance at Fort Johnson South, Louisiana; a $537,913.95 total small business purchase order with Air Force Space Command for fire equipment maintenance at Lompoc, California through February 2029; and a $533,169.45 exercise-option purchase order with Army Materiel Command for fire equipment and maintenance services at the Presidio of Monterey through December 2028.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Navy. Military Sealift Command alone accounts for 19 awards and $10.5 million in combined potential value (43% of the portfolio), while the United States Marine Corps adds 12 awards and $5.4 million. Together, these two Navy components represent 36 of 85 awards and approximately $15.9 million of the $24.4 million combined potential value, or about 65% of the portfolio. The top five customers by potential value cover 83% of all awards. Non-Navy customer agencies include the Department of the Air Force (Pacific Air Forces and Space Command), the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Park Service, the U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Air Force Academy. This concentration reflects AOS's established position as a specialized vendor for Navy and Marine Corps fire equipment sustainment.

AOS holds four active indefinite delivery contracts anchoring the customer relationships: the $7.1 million Military Sealift Command IDIQ (nine task orders to date, $263 thousand combined value); the $431,710.61 Army Materiel Command single-award IDIQ (three delivery orders issued, totaling $271 thousand); an Air Force Academy single-award woman-owned small business sole-source IDIQ valued at $249,900.00 awarded January 2025 (two delivery orders issued for approximately $20,069); and an Army Sustainment Command Blanket Purchase Agreement for $116,794.00 awarded February 2026. Additional task-order work flows through named parent vehicles N3220524D0028 (nine task orders, $263 thousand combined value) and N3220519D4852 (eight task orders, $237 thousand combined value), both Navy vehicles carrying delivery-order work for SCBA services on individual vessels.

Recent activity has grown year over year from four awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2025, with nine awards recorded in 2026 through early September. The combined potential value across all eighty-five awards is $24.4 million, with $8.9 million obligated to date (37% of potential value). Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $656 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. AOS has no subcontractor role in the source data; all eighty-five awards reflect prime contracting activity. Place of performance spans military installations worldwide—Japan (Pacific Air Forces), Guam (Naval Base), Italy and Spain (Naval Facilities), Thailand (Military Sealift Command delivery orders), and CONUS locations including Louisiana, Colorado, California, Texas, Washington, Delaware, and South Dakota. The company's core competency remains specialized equipment maintenance for defense, with no observable exposure to civilian IT, cloud, or professional services markets. The business operates as a Subchapter S corporation and has held SAM registration since December 2012.

AOS is a certified, woman-owned small business (WOSB) with a primary focus on securing contracts at the Federal, State, and Local government levels. Their expertise lies in implementing firefighting equipment compliance programs, which encompass testing, inspecting, certifying, and repairing various firefighting equipment. AOS adheres strictly to NFPA and manufacturer recommendations, covering a comprehensive range of firefighting equipment essential to firefighters from SCBAs and fit testing to confined space, hydrostatic testing of SCBA cylinders, compressors, pump testing and beyond. Since 1997, AOS has been a trusted prime contractor and subcontractor to entities such as the Department of Defense (DoD), National Parks, National Science Foundation, Veterans Administration, and Military Sealift Command Fire & Emergency Services.
